I'm sure someone is gonna say RTFM and I'm sorry, I bet this gets covered all the time, but I can't find any help and the list archives don't seem to be working. All I'm trying to do is install FreeBSD on a new system. It's the BSD PowerPak 4.2 from Walnut Creek (Is that my problem?). The system I'm trying to install on is a Dell PowerEdge 2500SC 1GHz PIII, 512MB ECC SDRAM, 3x18GB U160 Seagate Cheetah's in a RAID 5. The raid controller is an Adaptec 2100. The bios tells me there are 2 containers, which is correct. However, FreeBSD tells me there are no hard disks in the system, and says the controller may not have been probed properly. If I go into the UserConfig thing, I can't pick the driver for this card. Adaptec's site says to just let the kernel do it's normal configuration and that it will recognize the card and the drives. Should that be correct? How should I go about installing FreeBSD on this system? Any help would be much appreciated.
